AGBF|1488856817|4137430 said:The proposed replacement for the ACA has eliminated Medicaid/Title XIX based on income from the new bill. That will cut a good number of humans off the rolls. The Republicans can be proud.
"Republicans hope to undo other major parts of President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement, including income-based tax credits that help millions of Americans buy insurance, taxes on people with high incomes and the penalty for people who do not have health coverage.
Medicaid recipients’ open-ended entitlement to health care would be replaced by a per-person allotment to the states. And people with pre-existing medical conditions would face new uncertainties in a more deregulated insurance market.
The bill would also cut off federal funds to Planned Parenthood clinics through Medicaid and other government programs for one year.
'Obamacare is a sinking ship, and the legislation introduced today will rescue people from the mistakes of the past,' said Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the majority leader.
Democrats denounced the effort as a cruel attempt to strip Americans of their health care.
'Republicans will force tens of millions of families to pay more for worse coverage — and push millions of Americans off of health coverage entirely,' said Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader."

This going to be horrific, and is essentially ACA but crappy. Anyone who thinks this is going to solve all the "problems" with ACA is in for a rude awakening.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fact-checking-trumps-tweet-guantanamo-bay-detainees/story?id=45960699
President Trump tweeted this morning about 122 former detainees from the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who U.S. officials say returned to terrorist activity, but he missed a key fact.
Trump said the former prisoners had returned to terrorist activity after being released by the Obama administration.
But the vast majority of those 122 former detainees – about 93 percent -- were released before former President Obama even took office.
According to a September 2016 report from the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, 113 of those 122 detainees who have been confirmed as “re-engaging” were released from Guantanamo Bay under the Bush administration.
Only nine of them were released during the Obama administration.
The tweet came less than an hour after a segment on "Fox and Friends" about Mohammed Tahar, aka Yasir al-Silmi, a former Guantanamo detainee who was killed by a U.S. air strike in Yemen last week. Tahar had been transferred from Guantanamo to his home country of Yemen Dec. 17, 2009, during the Obama administration.
Trump also calls Obama's releasing of detainees a "terrible decision," but the percentage of Obama-released prisoners returning to terrorist activity is lower than Bush-released prisoners. Only 6 percent of Obama-released prisoners returned to terrorism vs. 21 percent of Bush-released prisoners, according to Director of National Intelligence data.
Not all of the 122 former detainees are still on the run. The data shows 30 of them are now dead and 25 are in custody, leaving 67 of the 122 former detainees still on the loose. An additional 86 former detainees are “suspected of re-engaging” in terrorist activity.
The detention center at Guantanamo Bay has been a controversial site since its formation in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It was originally created for suspected terrorists in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Former President Obama promised during his campaign to shut it down, but 41 detainees still remained in detention at the end of Obama's term.
It has been widely criticized by human rights organizations for alleged indefinite detention of prisoners and torture.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

BINGO!! You have to be pretty far gone to not see that Trump is an incompetent fool - I think even a good portion of Reps know. They don't care though, they'll put up with anything as long as they can push their agenda - an agenda which is actively stripping away environmental protections in order to line the pockets of the rich; an agenda that strips healthcare rights to line the pockets of the rich; an agenda that cuts taxes to line the pockets of the rich; gosh, are we seeing a pattern here?

Like the Republicans said, allow us to buy the policy we want not the one shoved down our throats like what Obama did to us. Good riddance.
